Why Choose A Field Cast Iron Skillet For Camping?
Our kids (and us) are fans of many cast iron classics like like smash burgers, hot dogs, and grilled cheese, but if you want to mix it up, read on for some new ideas! Plus, we added some helpful tips for prep you can do at home to keep things simple while you're at camp.
What to cook?
Dice veggies at home for a simple side dish that comes together in minutes at camp. Pro tip: store the onion and garlic together, the pepper and zucchini together, and the corn and beans together
Cut down on camp dishes by measuring and mixing dry ingredients at home!
Your onion can get diced at home, but potatoes will start to oxidize if they're cut up too long in advance, so we recommend chopping those at camp.
This requires using a grill with a lid, or alternatively you can use a cast iron lid. Toppings can get prepped in advance, and it's nice to keep things simple by bringing either store bought or homemade dough from home. Pro tip: leftover pizza makes a great lunch or snack the next day!
Stem beans at home and they'll be ready to cook when your crew gets hungry.
An easy way to be the most popular person at camp! Everyone loves waking up to the smell of bacon, especially in the wilderness.
Pack your fishing rod to procure a fresh catch. . . or visit your local fishmonger if that's more your speed.
Marinate your steak and chop your veggies at home and you'll have a delicious first night dinner that's ready to cook and throw together quickly when you get to camp.
